You are going to Hong Kong, one of the most thriving metropolises on the planet.
If you've got money to spend, you'll get some of the best western food you could dream of.. if that's your preference, stay in the TST area.
Things to see.. take the Peak Tram (an experience in itself) up to the top at night, to get the world famous panorama..
If you're into clubbing, Wan Chai is where you want to be, there are clubs there where girls jsut love western guys.
Take a trip to Lamma island, take a trip to Lan tau island...
You'll have to hit up Sham Shui Po for sure - the tech area..
Mong Kok for the newer tech area (but nothing on SSP)
Hit up Prince Edward for the bird markets, and make sure you hit the fish markets just nearby for some pretty cool sights..
Makr sure you take the star ferry at least once..
But seriously - hongkong is where you will get some of THE best chinese food in the world.
The 'chinese food' I ate in the US was abysmal - it's not even real chinese.
you will have an awesome time in Hong Kong, its a very easy introduction to Asia - you will not find any communication problems as english is widely regarded as the first language in the city precinct... as for food you'll get whatever you want, check out - http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/...arch/index.jsp to get some ideas... but be sure to at least try some local food... a good "touristy" night out would be to head out on a floating resatraunt, great views of the city and you'll get an awesome seafood meal. The new Disney Land has also just opened there, so probably worth checking out.
I was there during the summer. Make sure to check out Lantau Island and the giant Buddha. The view is awesome. Also check out the Peak... awesome view of HK.
